>MBA-style ethics - my own term, by the way - is "anything goes until you get caught, then argue along the lines of 'it depends what 'is' is...' to save your skin".
"Business has no morals" is the prime example of it.

Are you saying that Clinton has an MBA? :)
I thought he was a slimey lawyer.


>A corporate "Mission statement" that says only good and righteous things followed by actions that not only ignore such a statement but actually do the opposite is another most common example.

Well what do you want them to say?
That they want to cheat and exploit their customers?

>Saying that your customers, and first-class customer service, is the prime directive yet locating your Customer Service in India and having them monitored/rewarded by minimum call duration is another fine example.

They didn't say which customers they want to serve. Maybe they want our money, but want to REALLY help their customers in India. :)

No seriously. You're probably right on this issue.... err... I think... well, maybe... :)
